Hello,

I=E2=80=99m Andrea, an Italian universi= tary student (2st years of Computer Science in =E2=80=9CLa Sapienza=E2=80= =9D Univesity of Rome). I am writing to find out more about the project =E2= =80=9CWrite a basic Dis interpreter for web browsers in Dart=E2=80=9D.

I found this project s= o interesting because combines Dart language (I discovered it few weeks ago= but I love it for his sintax very similar to Java) and DIS. I didn=E2=80= =99t know 9Plan and DIS until a few days ago but as soon as I read DIS spec= ification (http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/dis.html= ) I found this project an exciting challenge.


The DIS v= irtual machine is an opportunity to work on that branch of computer science= that I like most: Computer organization and design.
Implement a virtual machine (with its instruction set very close t= o the machine language) in a high level, web oriented language should be *r= eally fun*! Do not you think so?
If possible I would like to rec= eive more information on skill requirements in order to participate in this= project. Any information, links or other documentation of DIS would be wel= comed!
P.S.: I'm still working on my englis= h. If there is any error please forgive me: I'm debugging! :D

        We're in! Plan 9 has be= en accepted to participate in this year's
Summer of Code. This will be our fifth year participating, and as for
the past few, we'll be again serving as an umbrella organization for
the extended family of Plan 9 projects, including Inferno, Plan 9 from
User Space, and so on.

        I've filled in our prof= ile on Melange (the webapp that Google uses
to run the program) so we're visible on the accepted-orgs list[1], but
I'm still going around updating various things, so (for example) the wi= ki
isn't updated yet. This should all be done shortly.

        So now the fun work sta= rts. We need to get as many students as
we reasonably can interested in what we're doing and convinced that
working with us for a summer is a good plan (and, really, who could
argue with that?). More students yield more accepted projects, and
better ones to pick from.

        We could also still use= more mentors and ideas, of course. The
ideas page[2] is still the correct place to submit those. Just follow t= he
format of the existing example and attach your name for any idea
(including existing ones) you'd be willing to mentor for. As a reminder= ,
putting your name there now is not a commitment to mentor any
particular proposal; we'll still evaluate those as they come in.

        The next big milestone = is when student applications open on
April 22. Until then, come hang out in #plan9-gsoc or #plan9 on
irc.freenode.net<= /a> if you're interested in answering student questions.

This is pretty exciting.
Anthony
